Chapter 71: Shopping Trip ( 5 )

Chapter 71: Shopping Trip ( 5 ) As soon as the seller said this, the rest of the sellers also came over. Fearing that the situation would get out of control, Fu Chen’an stood in front of his wife and glared at them.


"Don’t get closer or don’t blame me for being rude."


Meeting his sharp gaze, the sellers hesitated but refused to back down. So they just stood there and looked at her.


Yao Zhi patted her husband’s arm and said, "It’s okay, let me take a look."


She walked to them and checked the meat quality. After a while, she pointed at the meat and said, "I can buy everything, but the quality of the meat is different. So, I can’t give you the same price."


Hearing this, everyone nodded and agreed immediately. "Sister-in-law, as long as you buy from my stall, I can lower the price."


Yao Zhi nodded and divided the meat based on the quality. She then pointed at the lowest quality and said, "I will only pay 18 wen per jin for their pork."


Then she pointed at the better quality pork and said, "I will pay 20 wen per jin for this. As for this Sister’s pork, I will pay 25 wen per jin."


She knew that life was not easy for the commoners in this era. While she could get a lower price, she couldn’t get over her conscience if she paid them too little. What’s more, she had a lot of money. If she needed more silver, she could just sell some things from her system’s shop later.


The sellers thought for a moment and agreed. Rather than letting the pork spoil, it was better to sell it cheaper. At least they could earn money to buy grains.


Reaching an agreement, everyone weighed their pork under Fu Chen’an’s supervision. When they were done, they packed the pork in a sack. With one hand handing the goods and another receiving the money.


When everything was done, Yao Zhi had spent a total of four taels of silver and 985 wen. While her husband was tying the bags on the donkey’s back, she saw the innards and pig blood in the basins.


She pointed at those basins and asked, "Sister, are you selling those things?"


The woman was taken aback when she heard this. Thinking that she was someone who had never seen these things, she chuckled and replied, "Sister, those are the innards and blood. They are smelly and inedible. Even if we give them away, no one will want them."


Yao Zhi’s eyes lit up when she heard this. She realized that in this era, no one knew how to clean or cook these things. She looked at the woman and asked, "Sister, can you give them to me?"


The woman was surprised and said, "Sister, you can’t eat these things."


"I know. I want to use it as fertilizer."


If she told her she knew how to clean and cook the innards, this woman wouldn’t believe her. So she just found an excuse.


As she expected, the woman nodded and said, "So that is the case. You can take it all."


The nearby stall owners heard this and said, "Sister-in-law, you can take mine, too."


They had to bury these things when they went back home. Since someone wanted them, they would give them away happily.


Fu Chen’an looked at the amount of blood and innards and said, "Wife, it’s too much. We can’t take them back."


Just after he finished his words, a young man said, "Brother, I have a cart. I can help you send them over."


Before Fu Chen’an could reply, Yao Zhi already agreed. "Then we have to trouble you, Brother."


"No trouble at all!"


The young man was happy to help. After all, this was a big customer. He hoped that he would be able to leave a good impression so they would buy his pork next time.


With the young man’s help, they borrowed the big basins to carry the innards and pig blood. When they left Zhu’an Town, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon.


Yao Zhi was walking beside her husband and felt thirsty. Seeing his wife was tired, Fu Chen’an reached out and carried her onto the donkey’s back.


Right now, there was only a bundle of fodder and a bamboo basket tied on the donkey’s back. The grains were placed on the young man’s cart. So, letting her sit on the donkey wouldn’t put too much pressure on it.


Yao Zhi was startled and let out a yelp. When she realized what had happened, she was already sitting on the donkey’s back and saw her husband grinning at her.


She patted her chest and said, "Husband, you should let me know. You almost scared me to death."


Fu Chen’an laughed and replied, "With me here, nothing will happen to you."


The young man heard their conversation and pretended to be deaf.


Now that she no longer needed to walk, Yao Zhi finally took out the waterskin and drank some water. Afterward, she handed the waterskin to her husband and ate a steamed bun. Fu Chen’an drank the water and ate the rest of the steamed buns.


When they returned to the village, everyone had already gone back to their houses to cook. So, no one saw what they brought back.


After they unloaded everything, Fu Chen’an poured the pig’s innards and pig blood into two big water vats. As he returned the borrowed basin to the young man, he gave him five wen and said, "Thank you for your help."


The young man was delighted to receive extra money. He thanked him before leaving the village.


In the backyard, Yao Zhi had already checked the pig’s blood. She scooped a ladle of pig blood and noticed that the pig blood was not clean and couldn’t be eaten. Although she felt pity, she decided to use it to make blood meal fertilizer.


As for the pig’s innards and the pork meat, she filled the water vat with her system’s river water and added two drops of spiritual spring water to keep it fresh.
